Cranford — Page 5
When Mrs Forrester, for instance, gave a party in her baby-house of a dwelling, and the little maiden disturbed the ladies on the sofa by a request that she might get the tea-tray out from underneath, everyone took this novel proceeding as the most natural thing in the world, and talked on about household forms and ceremonies as if we all believed that our hostess had a regular servants' hall, second table, with housekeeper and steward, instead of the one little charity-school maiden, whose short ruddy arms could never have been strong enough to carry the tray upstairs, if she had not been assisted in private by her mistress, who now sat in state, pretending not to know what cakes were sent up, though she knew, and we knew, and she knew that we knew, and we knew that she knew that we knew, she had been busy all the morning making tea-bread and sponge-cakes.
예를 들어, 포레스터 부인이 그녀의 아주 작은 집에서 파티를 열었을 때, 그 작은 하녀가 소파에 앉은 숙녀들에게 찻잔 받침대를 밑에서 꺼내도 되겠냐고 부탁하여 그들을 불편하게 했을 때, 모든 사람들은 이 색다른 행동을 세상에서 가장 자연스러운 일로 받아들이며, 마치 우리 모두가 여주인에게 가정부와 집사를 둔 정식 하인 식당과 두 번째 식탁이 있다고 믿는 것처럼 가정의 관습과 예절에 대해 계속 이야기했는데, 실제로는 단 한 명의 자선학교 출신 어린 하녀만 있었고, 그 아이의 짧고 불그스름한 팔로는 혼자서 쟁반을 위층으로 들고 올라가기에 결코 충분히 강하지 않았을 것이었으며, 만약 그녀의 주인 마님이 몰래 도와주지 않았다면 그렇게 하지 못했을 것이었는데, 그 마님은 지금 위엄 있게 앉아 어떤 케이크들이 올라왔는지 모르는 척하고 있었지만, 그녀는 알고 있었고, 우리도 알고 있었고, 그녀는 우리가 알고 있다는 것을 알았고, 우리는 그녀가 우리가 알고 있다는 것을 안다는 것을 알았으니, 그녀가 아침 내내 티브레드와 스펀지케이크를 만드느라 바빴던 것이었다.
There were one or two consequences arising from this general but unacknowledged poverty, and this very much acknowledged gentility, which were not amiss, and which might be introduced into many circles of society to their great improvement.
이처럼 널리 퍼져 있으나 인정받지 못한 가난과, 매우 공공연하게 인정받는 신사다움에서 비롯된 한두 가지 결과들이 있었는데, 그것들은 나쁘지 않았으며, 사회의 많은 계층에 도입된다면 크게 개선될 수 있는 것들이었다.
For instance, the inhabitants of Cranford kept early hours, and clattered home in their pattens, under the guidance of a lantern-bearer, about nine o'clock at night; and the whole town was abed and asleep by half-past ten.
예를 들어, 크랜퍼드의 주민들은 일찍 귀가하는 습관을 지켜, 밤 9시쯤 등불을 든 사람의 안내 아래 나막신을 달그락거리며 집으로 돌아갔고, 온 마을이 10시 반이면 잠자리에 들어 잠을 자고 있었다.
